Borderlands 2 : Whats your build?

blog

I recently started playing True Vault Hunter mode and have been playing online with a lot of people. Since most of us are at least level 40 I have seen some really cool builds on just about every character. So my question to my fellow 1up Vault Hunter is what crazy powerful or unique build have you figured out? I’ll get the ball started with my Mechro mancer. I like to call her build the “Wait for it “. The core of her build requires you to invest a lot in the +Little Big Trouble tree, or at the least enough to get *Interspersed Outburst. Then to balance it out spend one point in Controlled Chaos for Anarchy. Then you want to equip the best Amp shield you can find and a Class mode that ads 3, 4 or more points to Interspersed Outburst. Now if you like snipers, shot guns, Jacobs or Dahl assault rifle, and of course rocket launchers then this is the build for you. Rapid fire weapons don’t get much from this build that is until you build up a stack of Anarchy that’s at least 50 or higher. At this point your aim at long distances may start to suffer.

So what make this build work is when you shoot an enemy then wait about a few second your next shot will use a stack of *IO that will range from 2 to 5 depending on how long you wait to fire. The *IO shot does bonus slag damage and each time you successfully use it goes up a rank. The higher the rank the better chance you have of slagging an enemy. With a maxed out *IO and the right class mod you can take it up to a rank of 10, maybe higher. The best part is this means you can slag enemies with a regular weapon. Combine this with the elemental bonus from the other skills found in the +LBT tree and an Amp shield and you will be downing some hefty hitters with a good clean head shot. And with anarchy you can slowly increase that damage. With anarchy ever time you kill an enemy or empty a weapon in combat you get a stack of anarchy. Each stack you get increases you weapon power by 1.75% but knocks the same amount from your weapons accuracy. You can build a stack of 150 right out of the gate and when maxed this will increase your gun power by 260%. The negative angle can be tamed a bit with relics and putting some badass tokens towards weapon accuracy. Anyway that’s the “Wait for It” build, looking forward to see what you guys have going.
